300 walkers tackled Shooting Star Chase's flagship event by walking 10km or 20km to raise a huge amount of money.

Participants remembered their loved ones by decorating 30 small white paper lanterns and illuminating the start of the route. The walk commenced at 4.30am so the warm, amibent light set the perfect scene for a minute's silence.

The money raised by this fantastic organisation enables the charity to provide practical and emotional support for families in London and Surrey coping with the loss of a child. Counselling for parents, play sessions for children and support groups are all on offer.
